New
- The new Collaboration feature allows users to work on the same page and see when someone else is editing an entry and will be locked out during the edit. If a collaborator has an entry in edit mode and takes no action after 10 minutes, all changes will be saved and the entry will be unlocked and available for editing. Updates will be seen right away and this ensures that users are always editing the latest version of rich text entries, plain text entries, headings, widgets, sketches, or PubMed references. This feature does not extend to Online Office Document editing, which supports simultaneous editing or to image annotating. Learn more.
